Attendance & punctuality
At Platt Bridge Community School we work closely with our parents to ensure that pupils maintain excellent attendance and punctuality so that every child’s progress is maximised. Vital learning can be missed if pupils are absent or late to school.
We strive for every child to arrive at school on time and every day. Excellent attendance is recognised and celebrated both individually and at class level, with attendance of the week awards.
Our Attendance Policy can be found here: Platt Bridge Attendance Policy
You can find a summary of the Attendance Policy on on page here: Attendance on a Page
Absence Reporting Procedure
In the event of a pupil being absent from school, parents are asked to notify the school by telephone on 01942 487999 (then select option 1) on the child’s first day of absence.
On the first attendance after an absence for which permission has not been obtained, the child must bring a letter from his/her parents. Failure to provide a reason for absence will result in the absence being unauthorised. Parents are asked to notify school about routine dentist, doctor, hospital or optician appointments and we encourage parents to take children for these outside of school hours wherever possible.
